Access information:
Granton Castle Walled Garden is an outdoor site with uneven, grassy surfaces, which can be wet or muddy, especially in winter. Wheelchair users and people with other mobility aids visit the garden throughout the year; however, some areas may be difficult to navigate without assistance or if ground conditions are poor. Most events involve slow-paced movement around the garden. Sheltered areas and plenty of chairs are available. The garden has one composting toilet that can be used during events, but it is not fully accessible. There is no running water in the garden, so please bring any food or drink you may need.
All our events are free unless noted otherwise. Donations welcome.
